Where Have You Bin?


It is safe to say that the Air Jordan 7 Premio “Bin 23 is one of the more unique, one-of-a-kind designs from Jordan Brand in a very long time. Following the success they’ve previously had with the Air Jordan 9 and Air Jordan 13, the company selected the Air Jordan 7 as the next applicant for a premium makeover. Being a model which originally released in 1992, a time when The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was the show to watch and Afrocentric clothing was at an all time high, the Air Jordan 7 “Premio” Bin 23 reignites the time period with vibrant accents and wild tribal graphics. The actual inspiration comes from tribalism art and is influenced by an Afropop Worldwide poster that Tinker Hatfield referenced while designing the model. An array of bright colors, such as Del Sol, Challenge Red and Green, make up this peculiar which was spotted on the aforementioned poster. Lastly, the zigzag pattern on the heel was derived from a sketch seen on Tinker’s original mood boards. The Air Jordan 7 Premio “Bin 23″ hit select retailers on Friday, November 26th, 2010, for $175. Like the other Bin 23 releases before it, the Air Jordan 7 “Premio” is individually numbered and come packaged with high-quality, branded shoe trees.


KickkSpott came through again! Got these last summer for a good price (considering their exclusivity) and they may be one of the nicest pair that I own. I loved the design and figured if I was going to get a pair of 7s, why not go straight to the top? I have always loved the Bin Collection and I am slowly making my way through all 5. I also have the Bin 5s (still Icy) and now I'm looking hard for the brown Bin 2s deadstock. 2,059 pairs of Premio 7s were sold and #0745 is sitting in my closet holdin it down.


Current Value: $1000
